Albright, O'Malley & Brenner To Present Pre-CRS Seminar

Country Radio Specialists Mike O’Malley and Becky Brenner have announced that their 23rd annual Pre-CRS seminar will take place on Wednesday, February 22, 2017 at the Music City Center, Downtown Nashville, from 10:00 am-1:30 pm.

The A&O&B team will present the first highlights from their 12th annual online perceptual study, “Roadmap 2017”, including Country P1 trends in music tastes, digital consumption, social networking and more.  Data from thousands of P1’s from across the U.S and Canada will be included.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to see presentations on personal career growth, important topics facing country radio and tips on growing ratings and revenue in 2017.

Ryan Follese

BMLG’s Republic Nashville returns as the music sponsor for the event, including a photo op and special, intimate performance from with their hottest new act, Ryan Follese.  During his successful run fronting American Music Award-winning band Hot Chelle Rae, Ryan co-wrote their 3X Platinum #1 worldwide smash “Tonight, Tonight” and toured in 16 countries, including arena dates with Taylor Swift.  As a solo country artist, his debut single "Put A Label On It" has been featured on NBC’s TODAY show and has seen fans gravitating towards his sound with over 715,000 streams to date on Spotify.

Additional panels/speakers will be announced over the next ten days.

“For 23 years this has been one of the most special half days of any conference. The pace is quick, the speakers have come from country radio as well as businesses as diverse as Starbucks and politics,” said partner Mike O’Malley. “It’s a half-day of thought-provoking and actionable sessions that help set the stage for CRS.”

Brenner adds, “Radio prides itself on innovation, creation and preservation.  Our job is to make sure stations have the tools to accomplish all three.  Tools that help the station generate successful ratings and increase revenue. It is an opportunity to share, learn, grow and re-energize for the new year!”

The A&O&B Pre-CRS Seminar is free and is open to all clients as well as to broadcasters in non-competitive situations. You can RSVP to aobprecrs@aandoandb.com.
